Practice question
A successful examinee argues that presumed innocence guarantees immediate admission regardless of every other item bearing on moral fitness. The record contains a disclosed nonfinal trial conviction, and the Court proposes an individual evaluation under amended Section 2. Which is best?
- Presumed innocence prevents automatic guilt from accusation but does not abolish the specified case-specific discretion
- Every mere charge automatically requires permanent exclusion
- A passing score removes all character requirements
- The Court may never evaluate any circumstance before finality
- The OBC may conclusively decide admission without the Court
